Best educated?... fully understand the 40mm Bofors incoming flaks. Read the numbers in my initial post. I focused on preps. My follow on post included my home state. My assumption is that if the crazy group wins, the best educated kids receive an appointment.
Baltimore area prep schools include 5-6 different counties, including some of the richest in the country with some of the best public school systems, , and the prep schools in that area have been a pipe line into SAs for decadesBaltimore is not graduating students that can read or write.
It seems to me the crux of this is the desperate need for improvements in large city schools.
They are exempt from the ruling because they weren’t a party. The Court acknowledges there could be a different answer for them. We can only find out when the new lawsuit goes forward.The SAs are exempt:
"This summer, the Supreme Court overturned the legality of race-based affirmative action at higher education institutions everywhere, with one exception: military service academies."
The best educated kids come from prep schools? Wow, such a different experience for my kids. Both always public school kids. Younger one who's applying now attends a very large public school. Took each test only once. First time was the SAT at the end of sophomore year. Scored high enough to be asked to become a certified SAT tutor on a free platform that partners with Khan Academy. Took the ACT for the free school day test given to juniors. Scored a perfect score. I never paid a dime for prep; there's plenty of free resources out there. So interesting the different experiences.... fully understand the 40mm Bofors incoming flaks. Read the numbers in my initial post. I focused on preps. My follow on post included my home state.

Thank you @severn.... read the numbers in my initial post. I'm trying to be tactful in this forum. If the crazy group wins, that W group numbers will increase tremendously... leaving hundreds of kids behind.
Just because they won doesn't mean they aren't "whackos." They do seem to understand the law. Whether they understand how that relates to SAs remains to be seen.This group won this case for top universities, so they are far from whackos.
... definitely yes, I'll admit I'm wrong... just like my previous post about Navy football... hoping they win against chair force.First, this crazy group is bringing a legitimate question to the courts on whether the admissions is SAs is constitutional. This group won this case for top universities, so they are far from whackos.
Are they right? Not sure - haven’t seen the discovery.
Do you have the racial breakdown of the number of minorities from prep and public schools in your example?
Why does admissions think the candidates in private schools are better in your state?
If this groups win - and these numbers stay consistent in 2030 and beyond, will you admit your conclusion was wrong?
... yes, the knuckle head Group was reading the same footnote.The SAs are exempt:
"This summer, the Supreme Court overturned the legality of race-based affirmative action at higher education institutions everywhere, with one exception: military service academies."
Lol how many prep school midshipmen start on the football team?... definitely yes, I'll admit I'm wrong... just like my previous post about Navy football... hoping they win against chair force.
... I'm saying on the average, appointments from my state annually is 5 preps / 1 public.ReBest educated?
Do you think the public school kids in your state have better WCS/WPS than the prep schools?
Or are you suggesting admissions should give appointments to less qualified applicants in your state?
... 1Lol how many prep school midshipmen start on the football team?
Do you know the racial breakdown?... I'm saying on the average, appointments from my state annually is 5 preps / 1 public.
I hope he has the game winning play against Air Force!... 1
Probably some, but not majority. Now the lacrosse team… probably the majority to the large majority.Lol how many prep school midshipmen start on the football team?
I wonder about basketball.Probably some, but not majority. Now the lacrosse team… probably the majority to the large majority.
Baltimore area public schools are some of the worst in the entire country. 100% of private school attendees are going to college. What’s the percentage of Baltimore area public schools going to college? What’s the percentage who even graduate. Would love to see actual data on this, including the percentage of kids from the schools you mention who attend SA’s who are athletes. Those schools pump out lax players like it’s their job, and it kind of is.And yet just in Baltimore area you see kids being admitted into SA s recently who attended, McDonough, Calvert Hall, Loyola, Boys Latin, NDP, and a host of other prep schools. Amd many of these prep schools tout the fact that it’s not one but several SA admits.
A higher % of SA admits from the typical Baltimore area prep school than most area public schools i would bet and I doubt it’s even close.,
